Edward W. Bok built the Mountain Lake Bird Sanctuary and Singing Tower at Lake Wales, Florida, as a token of his appreciation and gratitude for what America had given him. The tower weights 5,500 tons, has a square base 51 feet wide and rises to a height of 205 feet 2 inches. It contains a carillon of 71 bells and is built for the most part from southern materials. It is a concrete exemplification of Mr. Bok's creed.
"Make you the world a bit better or more beautiful because you have lived in it."
